sillygwailo: unconsumption: New York has the High Line and San Francisco is going to get the Bay Line – both abandoned rail lines turned into public parks. Now Chicago is looking to do the same with the Bloomingdale Rail Line, a 3 mile section of elevated train track running east and west into the heart of downtown. (more at Inhabitat) I can’t wait for Vancouver to follow suit and turn the Arbutus Corridor into a public park. SF and NYC actually have decent transit already though. Wouldn’t it make so much more sense to put light-rail down the Arbutus corridor instead. Westsiders already got all the parks.
